This year, UFCOMJ offered 89 training positions that span across 11 residency programs. All but two of those positions were filled during last month’s Match Day. The remaining two were quickly filled through a supplemental offer program.

Seventeen of the matched residents come from allopathic medical schools in Florida. Of that group, three are from UF. Meanwhile, 12 other matched residents come from osteopathic medical schools in the Sunshine State.

“We are very pleased with our match results this year,” said Frank Genuardi, MD, associate dean for student affairs at UFCOMJ. “All of our categorical programs filled through the match, and the two preliminary positions that were left available filled immediately afterwards through the National Resident Matching Program's Supplemental Offer and Acceptance Program. We look forward to the new class of residents joining us in July.”

Every year, graduating medical students throughout the country and abroad eagerly await Match Day, when they find out where they will complete their medical training program.

This year’s 89 training positions at UFCOMJ are an increase of seven from 2015. Programs that had new spots available include psychiatry and internal medicine preliminary, which are designated positions for neurology.
